"My name is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we are going to talk about 18 and Life by Skid Row. It's a really easy song chord bass riff, let's take a look. The first chord we use in this song is a C sharp minor it's a fourth fret on the A string 6 fret on the D string and 5th fret on the B string. This is the first part we are going to use the second chord we are going to use is the B major. It's down here on the second fret of the A string fourth, fourth, fourth on the D G and B perspectively. Open A then we are going to use a A two chord which is an open A second fret on the D second fret on the G and the high two strings that are open. Then we are going to go on the second fret of the B string fourth fret of the D string fourth fret of the D string fourth fret of the G string and also high to open. With a couple of riffs in between those chords this is what it looks like. (playing guitar) Remember these couple of riffs are in there as we go back to that C sharp minor and the other time when we go back in the C sharp minor and we are slighting up to the second fret of the A string to the fourth fret. It's not a really hard song if you know a couple of standard chords and can move in between efficiently. In our next segment we are going to Turning Japanese by the Vapors, I'll see you there."
